I've seen that. Pretty incredible. I think the key words here is "Airshow" and "permission".

Having been in the Evora Airshow, I can tell you that the coordinators were not big on putting limits and... coordinating. No "knock it offs" that I know.

That particular Airshow has been cancelled. No idea if this had something to do with it or not.

Terrible -- airliners are not supposed to fly at altitudes less than their wing span on one side.  Or is it the length of their vertical tail when inverted?  Something like that.
